Team:Leeds/Attributions

Academic Support

The team is very appreciative of input from every academic that has come by to our weekly presentations. It is invaluable for us to be able to practice presenting, discuss our ideas and direct the project based upon the cumulative experience of so many great minds. Special mentions go to:

• Our supervisor, Luke Bawazaar for the Si4 sequence, assistance with Lab protocols etc.
• Our other supervisor, Mike McPherson for securing our entry fee and funding, use of his labs and access to some of his genetic libraries
• Sarah Deacon's input on preps, explaining why for things we didn't initially understand and helping us to form our ideas into a more cohesive strategy.
